Jerome's gonna miss MineCon

Chapter 23

Justin's POV:

When we were on our way to the hospital Jerome didn't look like he wasn't gonna make it. The ambulance truck came to a stop. We made it. They got Jerome inside and got him ready for surgery. They had to remove the bullet from Jerome's lung and then patch up the lung. I had to wait outside until the surgery was over. It took 2 and a half days to find and rescue Alyssa. It took about 1 full day to wait for Jerome in the hospital. By the last few hours of the surgery the entire class was sitting/standing near me. They told us the surgery was over and turned his heart back on using some kind of fancy thing to keep him alive. He looked dead and his heart wasn't pumping. Most of the class was crying by now. I looked around, Alyssa didn't come. Good choice, I started to cry when the nurse said "he might be gone, his lung isn't turning back on...

We just stood there...crying...watching him pass away...'he's gone' I thought...'he's gone'...then, during the silence...everyone heard large breathing. We looked at the board showing he is breathing perfectly...he is alive...Jerome slowly opened his eyes. "What happened" he said. Everyone started rejoicing and yet Jerome had no idea why. But then the nurse came back. "He has to stay here to keep his breath up to rate or he will die, again." Then everyone stopped rejoicing. He isn't going to MineCon. It was 12:34am, 3 days until MineCon when me and Jerome got here, it is 12:06am, 2 days until MineCon when everyone but Jerome left the hospital. No one went to sleep last night. It was awful. I wonder how Alyssa feels. The girls told her the entire story. I wonder how Jerome's friends felt. It was a long night. I woke up in the morning, tired, sloppy, sleepy, drowsy, worn out, depressed. I wanted to visit Jerome but everyone would think I left them. So I waited until someone else woke up. It was Nic, it seemed like he had the same idea as me.

"Hey" I said.

"H...i..."

"You didn't sleep well either?"

"No, so much, so much killing. All I wanted was my old class to have fun together again and this happened."

"I know, come on, let's visit Jerome."

There were still 2 days until MineCon, I tried not to mention it. We went to the hospital and we looked in Jerome's room and Jerome was there, as lively as he can be. They let him have his computer and camera so that he can do vlogs, Skype, and play games like minecraft while he is laying there. I still feel bad for him, even though he has all his minecraft stuff with him. We walking in his room and he got even happier to see us. I'm glad he's happy though.

"Hey guys, what's up" he said.

"Nothing, the bright side of all this is today and tomorrow is going to be so boring, that me and Justin are gonna stay here with you" Nic said.

"Thanks guys, but if it is fun, you guys can go, I don't mind."

"Nah g, we're staying here with you all today and all tomorrow!"

"What about MineCon, don't tell me your staying here for that."

"No we're not, but I have an idea."

Nic explained his idea to me before we asked the nurse if we could.

"Excuse me" Nic yelled to the nurse.

"Yes boys, what do you need" the nurse asked.

"We were wondering if Jerome can be pushed around in a wheel chair around MineCon..."

Well, the conseque-"

"Because! Going to MineCon is a once in a lifetime moment, if you don't let Jerome go, what happens if he goes poor or dies before the next MineCon. You have to let him."

"I'm sorry but he would die if he goes."
